（三十）　江南上元縣一民暴死。三日復甦。詣唐主具奏。入冥見先帝言。為宋齊丘所誤殺。和州降卒千餘人。冤訴仗汝。歸語嗣君。凡寺觀鳴鐘可延久其聲。吾受苦唯聞鐘則暫休。或能為造一鐘尤善。吾在位日甞以于闐國遺我玉天王像。藏於瓦棺寺佛左膝。人無知者。汝以此為驗。唐主遂詣瓦棺寺。佛膝得天王像。感泣造一鐘於清涼寺。鐫其上曰。薦烈祖考高皇帝。脫幽出厄。以玉像建塔。葬蔣山（出法范）。

[30] A commoner of Shangyuan County in Jiangnan died suddenly. After three days, he revived. He went to the ruler of Tang and memorialized in full: "I entered the underworld and saw the late Emperor, who said: 'I was led astray by Song Qiqiu into slaughtering more than a thousand surrendered soldiers of Hezhou. Their plaint of grievance relies upon you. Go back and tell the succeeding sovereign: whenever temples and monasteries strike their bells, they should prolong the sound. When I suffer torment, only upon hearing the bell is there a temporary respite; or if he could cast a bell on my behalf, that would be even better. When I was on the throne, the state of Khotan once presented me with a jade Heavenly King image, which I concealed in the left knee of the Buddha at Waguan Monastery. No one knows of it. You shall take this as proof.'" The ruler of Tang then went to Waguan Monastery and retrieved the Heavenly King image from the Buddha's knee. Moved to tears, he cast a bell at Qingliang Monastery, engraving upon it: "Offered for the Supreme Ancestral Forebear, Emperor Gao, to deliver him from the underworld and release him from distress." Using the jade image, he erected a stupa and buried it at Jiangshan (derived from the Fafan).
